Skyseeker’s Princess: An epic contemporary fantasy adventure

They taught her the skills of a ruler, then they betrayed her. They've no idea what they've set loose on the land.

Ellen's always known that her island home of Si'Empra has a precarious existence, stitched together by ancient alliances. Her grandfather tested those alliances, setting in train the gradual destruction of the island's fabric. Blinded by power, Ellen's brother continues to ignore the dangers of following in his grandfather's footsteps. Unable to bear her brother's abuses, Ellen flees into the island's mountainous wilds, stumbling into the lives of other fugitives. She becomes embroiled in battles against the ruling elite, proving herself a skilled negotiator and woman of the people. However, as she navigates the treacherous waters of Si'Empra to secure a better future for the island's inhabitants, there remains a past to face and many things to learn ... like not making deadly promises.

In a world divided by prejudice, survival comes at a cost – and the question is, does Ellen really survive.
